AGRIBUSINESS: % changes in euro in 2018of Italian provinces' Exports

As documented in the
Exportpedia section, which shows the detail of agribusiness exports from the various Italian provinces,
the Beverage sector stood out as the most positive: in the last quarter of the year sales of Wine and other beverages
recorded a +9% trend growth, bringing the cumulative annual growth close to +8% (even better than the excellent growth performance of 2017: +7.4%).
In particular, exports of Wine from the province of Cuneo
were driving forces, with as many as 3 cases of excellence in 2018 (sales to United States,
Germany e
United Kingdom, which recorded increases of 49 million, 22 million and 18 million euros respectively last year).
Also noteworthy is the sales performance of Wine from the province of Siena to the US market
(which grew last year by 10 million euros compared to 2017).

Also note the growth confirmations in the fourth quarter of last year's exports of Pasta, biscuits and oven products,
especially with reference to the French market for the provinces of
Piacenza (top performer in 2018 with an Year-over-Year increase of 83 million euros)
and Cuneo (+18.9 million euros compared to 2017), and - in the sweets, sauces and ready meals sector -
